Fort Donelson surrendered February IL.
1867, and it must have been the evening Of
February IA that the salute was heard
1t is unusual for cannonading to be heard
forty miles and more distant, but the damp,
heavy atmosphere of the time together
with the level prairie over which the sound
wave traversed had much to do with the
long distance reached.
In singular contrast to this experience
was that at Perryville, October s, 1862,
when in the afternoon severe and
bloody battle was fought by McCook's
corps Of the army Of the Ohio, two and
one-half miles from the headquarters Of
the Commander, but he Notwithstanding
failed to hear the sound of battle.
In a recent article on the battle of Shiloh.
General Buell. expresses surprise that the
Commander Of the army should unwilling
ly permit the foe to approach with large
force, encamp over night within ona and
half miles Of his lines and next morn
ing attack with large ARMY Not stranger
is it, that another Commander should re-
main quietly at his headquarters for a
whole afternoon in blssful ignorance of
the fact that one wing Of his army was en-
gagged in perilous battle, but two and one
half miles distantl
But that the latter circumstance hap
pened, Buell. himself testiies and offers in
explanation the peculiar conhguration OF
the country and the prevalence of strsng
wind from his headquarters toward the
corps engaged. War as well as peace has
its anomalies.
In the autumn of 1851 the people began
to be impatient with what was deemed the
needless inactivity of the Army of the Po-
tomac under Mcclellan, and concerning
him and that organizaioN the phrase:
"AH qwist on the Potomac first used as an
expressive indication of no demonstration
by either friend or foe in Virginia, came
as the period of inaction heightened, to
have a satirical meaning.

est railway station. The mail was carried
by boy on horseback, who went with the
outgoing mail to the railway station one
day and returned the next with incoming
mail matter.
The papers were eagerly watched as
with their heavy headlines they announced
the meeting of first one and another Sc
cession convention in the cotton States
and the severance By these of the bonds
which held them in the Union.
All this to the older school boy was terri
BILE work, and grated harshly upon his
young heart that had early been thrilled
by the story of the revolutionary fathers
who sacrificed so much to make possible
the Federal Union, and came strangely to
his mind so thoroughly imbued with the
noble words of Webster as found in the
school readers, pleading for the perma-
hence and perpetuity of that Union.
The inhabitants of the little village
watched with intense interest the events
of the day, and as the time drew near for
the mail-boy's arrival picked their way
along the sidesralterS' streets and gathered
in little company in mild weather upon
the porch in front Of the store and looked
iutently down the road, through the grove
Of timber, whence was expected the news
papers.
By and by the mail-boy, mounted on his
horse with the mail bag securely tied
behind his saddle, came in sight and urged
his steed to Jogging trot as he saw the
waiting crowd.
One of the two or three daily papers
taken in the village was at once seized
upon by some one of the party, who
mounted box or barrel and read the latest
news to the eager crowd
As spring approached there was much
said about the critical condition of Major
Anderson at Fort Moultrie, about the firing
upon the steamship, Star of the West in
Charleston harbor, by the South Carolini-
ans, about the right and feasibility of CO.
ercion by the National Government, and

While the authorities seemed thus early
to realize the magnitude of the uprising in
the South, the people did not seem TO do so
fully till after the battle of Bull Run.
This battle, that at the time seemed so
disastrous to the Union cause, occurred
July 81 1861. The newspapers. were filed
with accounts and variations Of the battle
some of them in a little while after refer
ring to it facetiously as BuUe Run.
Bull Run thoroughly aroused the North
ern people.
But this battle, the crisis which was the
immediate cause of the great uprising in
the North that ultimately saved the Union,
came almost precisely six months after
the secession of South Carolina December
%, 1900, the event which ''first fired the
Southern heart" And during the whole
of 1861 it is not, perhaps, saying too much
to assert that III organization and all prepa-
ration for the conflict, the South was fully
six months in advance of the North.
LGte in the summer of 1861, the writer
in a conversation with a relative, at the
time Southern sympathizer, remembers
urging in extenuation of a recent Union
defeat the fact that our forces were great
ly outnumbered. Yes" answered the
relative. "Of course the Union soldiers
were outnumbered, just as they have been
all along, and are most likely to be in the
futurer'

General Fremont had command of the
Department of Missouri during most of the
summer of 1861, and as he started in with
considerable reputation, the people natu-
rally believed he would be one of the promi-
nent figures of the war, but he some way
failed to develop as expected.
August 10, 1861, was fought the battle of

finally when Major Anderson evacuated
Fort Moultrie and occupied Fort Sumter
all eyes were concentrated upon him and
his little band
One day about the middle of April after
floods Of rain had fallen the mail boy came
in with an extra number of daily papers.
These IN unusually extra heavy headlines
had the words: fort Sumter FallsIp
"Heroic Defense by the Garrisonp' ssThir-
ty-six Hours Of Terrific Bombardmentp,
1.-THE War Begunr' ssCall by the Presi-
dent for Seventy five Thousand Troops %
Then followed several columns giving the
history of the whole affair, the noble de-
Tense of the little garrison and the soldier
ly bearing of the commandant, Major
Anderson.
Anderson became the hero of the hour,
the papers were filled with eulogistic
notices OF him and narratives of his life.
About this time the writer inquired
of one much older than himself-one of the
village sages-who in his Judgment would
lead the Union armies and be the bright,
shining light of the warl the answer was:
Major Anderson, unquestionably."
Grant was at that time filling a mental
or at least an inferior place III leather
store at Galena, obscure there as every
where, not having in his widest dreams
glimpse of what the future had in store for
him. As to Anderson, he was speedily
made Briga9ier-General aud given q COM
mand in Kentucky; but from falling health
or some such cause, afterwards retired
from active command and soon passed
wholly out of public notice.
Immediately upon the fall of Fort Sum-
ter, Lincoln promptly issued call for
seventy-five thousand volunteers.
The writer remembers his amazement at
the number of troops called for.
The reasons for this amazement were
these:
The combined army-American and
French-at the siege of Yorktown num-
bered only sixteen thousand men; yet this

Mcclellan, soon after Bull Run, was
called to the command of the Army of the
Potomac, and for a time seemed very popu-
lar with the people. and was soon familiar
ly called "Little Mac" and q short time
after the Napoleon Of the War. But as the
winter drew near and the Army of the
Potomac made no demonstration, many
began to question McClellan's fitness for
nigh command, and some even made the
remark that he was the biggest man never
to have done any thing on record"
His most excellent service in Western
Virginia in July, 1861, was tor the time for
gotten or-ignored, and his great ability as
an organizer was not yet understood.
In April, 1862, in the West all eyes were
concentrated upon the Army of the Ten
nessee at Pittsburg Landing on the Ten
nessee river Here on April 6, 1862 Grant
came near being overwhelmed, and, for a
time, passed nn5c: shadow of public
distrust as dark and forbidding as the
previous two months-after the fall Of
Forts Henry ard Donelson-sunshine Of
popular approval and confidence had been
warm and cheering.

little mud, but pleasant withal and full Of
the promise of spring.
Little did we of the North know when
the sun went down that quiet Sabbath
evening, through what peril one OF our
great armies had passed.
In the same secluded, sparsely-settled
section, seven miles from a post-ofnce,
where the writer spent the winter OF
1852, he also spent the spring and sum-
mer following, contentedly farming and
dreaming of the college life, which he
hoped was near at hand.
About this time too he first saw ma
tional bank note. The man who had sew
eral five and ten-dollar bills of this species
said they were 'legal-tender."
Their bright, crisp appearance and artis-
tic workmanship were IN striking contrast
with the State bank-,cild-cdt currency, up
to that period the only paper money in
circulation.
This State bank money was of such
uncertain value that many of the old-fash-
Toned, but sturdy, people refused to receive
it in payment of dues, and insisted upon
having only gold and silver. Consequently
paper money naturally held lower place in
the public estimate than hard money.

SECTION II-IMMEDIATE CAUSES AND
BREAKING OUT OF THE WAR.

During the spring and summer of 1869
four Presidential tickets were put in the
field for the ensuing election in November
John C. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, was
the candidate of the Southern Democracy,
who favored the extension of slavery at
all hazards; Stephen A. Douglas, of Hi
nois, was the candidate of the Northern or
conservative wing of the Democratic par
ty. John Bell of Tennessee, was put up
as a non-partisan, so-called Constitution
and Union candidate, and Abraham Lin
coin, of Illinois, represented the Republic
an party.
From the organization of their party
four years before, the Republicans had
avowed their opposition to the further ex-
tension of slavery, and as the campaign
progressed the Southern papers and ORA
tors openly declared the intention of the
slave States to withdraw from the Union
in the event of Lincoln's election. BY
most people in the North, more especially
those identified with the Republican party,
this declaration was looked upon as an idle
threat
Election day 1869 fell on November G.
and in the West the day was mild, clear
and beautiful Just forty-four days later,
December 20, South Carolina withdrew
from the Union by formally passing an
ordinance of secession.
Several of her sister States of the South
speedily followed, and as early as February
Is, 1861, but little more than three months
after Lincoln's election, convention of Sc
coded States met at Montgomery, Ala, to
draft constitution for, and organize the
Southern Confederacy.
These momentous events, what seemed
to be the wreck of the good ship of State,
the going to pieces of the Old Union, pro-
duced profound shock throughout the
whole country. A shock that was felt by
all, even those in the most remote and
sparsely-settled sections.

was attending school in quiet little viii

In the spring of 1854 came Grant, and
then followed the bloody battles of the
Wilderness, Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor.
But through all the terrible slaughter

fixed purpose of the COMMUNICATIVE Chief
no more divided councils, no more turning

through long wearying siege, on through

The writer never belonged to the Army
of the Potomac, never was near it, and for
three years served in a Western army,
more than thousand miles distant from
the Eastern theater of war. But the fine
courage in the face of disaster, willingness
to again and again give battle when almost
certain defeat was in prospect, hardihood,
fortitude and logged determination at all
times manifested by the Army of the Po-
tomac, long since won his admiration.
